Griffin couldn’t wait to get to the reception. After posing for a hundred photos, he needed a beer. After holding Indy in his arms for a picture, he needed a shot of whiskey.
Indy had smiled and joked, keeping everyone at ease while Kate barked orders. But it was all superficial.
He didn’t know what had happened over the last week, but she’d pulled back. Luckily, he sat next to Ryan at the head table. If he’d been seated next to Indy, he wouldn’t have been able to hold his tongue.
After the meal, he stood to toast the happy couple. With his glass in hand, he waited for the attention of the crowd. “As best man, I prepared the typical speech. I planned to embarrass Ryan with tales of our youth and exploits with women, many of whom tried to get him to this point.”
